Oste Hovel Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) This is my WIP Pneumatic powered train bridge and i post it here to get some comments on what you guys think. Click here for a bigger version Whats left is to get some counterwight so it dosent fall over when going up/down and build a identical pneumatic cylinder rig on the other side. Some pictures of the Proof-Of-Concept will come later Oste Hovel Edited September 30, 2010 by Oste Hovel Quote
DLuders Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Wow! That's a lot of weight to move! For counterweights, you may want to use battery boxes, or the 73090b "Boat Weight 2 x 6 x 2 - bottom sealed, dimple on ends" pieces: Quote

DLuders Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Looks good. The video shows the power of pneumatics. Are you going to put this bridge into a larger Lego Train setup soon? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAzwmWuE6yU Quote
